Joe Lachowski FMA CellPro 10S
I now have two of these chargers. They definitely seem to charge quicker than my Thunderpower 1010C's. Downside is that you can not charge small 2S indoor Foamy packs unless you have balance taps. For this reason I will still need to keep 1 of my 1010C's around or just get another TP535 for the small 2S packs. The ability to track internal resistance is a great feature of the CellPro 10S. Will probably purchase a third one after I sell off 2 or 3 of my Thunderpower 1010C's.

Bantam BC-6 charger/cycler
I have been using two BC-6s for several months and am very pleased with their operation. A big plus is the 12 volt DC/110 volt AC capability. I normally use it with a 110 AC source. The BC-6s are rated at 5 amps, but this is only for three or fewer cells. I mostly charge 5-S packs and the average charge rate is about 2.6 amps. This means that a "fully discharged" 5000 mah pack would take upwards of two hours to charge. My 4500 mah and 4000 mah packs usually take between 1 and 1 1/2 hours to charge. Since there is a built-in 12 volt power supply, the 12 volt leads are HOT when 110 volts AC is used, so I cut the leads short and installed insulated "bullet" connectors and only plug in the leads when I'm actually using the BC-6s with a 12 volt source.

TP 1010C/210V
I have two of these charger/balancer combos. I've been using them from day one.
These were the original configuration and had a few problems at first, but with
firmware updates, they have been very reliable,with few charge interuptions from
over/under volt conditions. I like the ability to watch individual cell voltages during the charge.
******************************************************************************* Joe Lachowski Thunder Power 1010C Have 4 of them. They work fine with TP210 Balancers. Weak point is the Data Cables. With time the wires start to pull out of the connectors. Otherwise, charger works fine. Have been using them for about 2 seasons(2007 and 2008)so far.
